- The GSXR 750 is the best of both worlds if you compare it to a 600cc and a 1000cc. You get the weight of a 600 and some of the power of a liter bike. This bike is fast and well balanced. Now I see why so many people used to tell me to get a 750!

I have a 2022 GSXR 750 now at 54 years old. I’ve have the bike for 6 months and am shocked at how much I love it!
It’s all blacked out, full M4 exhaust, Sprint air filter, ECU was flashed by Chris Moore/Moore Mafia (look up his channel), grips for the hands, tanks grips (so much easier to hold position, too cheap not to do), steel braided lines doubled my braking power, and next come performance clutch and brake levers.
After that butt load of cash the bike is perfect. I might do ceramic wheel bearings one day, but now we are getting into things I just want and do not need.
I don’t ride super hard. Too Old. I finally grew up about a year ago now.
The bike keeps me young and breaking the law a little bit. That front tire gets really light in first gear.
Get One. They are amazing for fun, value, life is short, gas mileage is anywhere from 35-45 mpg, depending on if I am riding hard or cruising on the highway.
We ride to add life to our days, not days to our life.
I love my 750! Got a 2019 750 and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
me too, if you haven't deleted the cat it's worth doing.
@@prelude12341 for power?
What about 100 to 0 ?what about braking? I’ve heard about many people died while riding gsxr because of the break failure 😔...
@@AsadAli-ci2nq lol wut...
Same! I got a 2021. After my 07 gsxr 600 it feels so nice and smooth 🤟 - Amy
I've been looking for a gixxer 750 (04-09) everyday past 2 weeks. The perfect 07 came up for sale but I was 3 hours too late. So I keep looking...can't wait!
2011 was the next, is the current generation, and faster.
I put a deposit on mine today and it’ll be ready this Saturday. Definitely don’t need a 1000 for the road. 600 is probably just a little too gutless after you get used to it’s power. 750 is right in the sweet spot
adamschannel It’s a good balance.
@Mark Rizzotto Have you ridden anything previously?
@Mark Rizzotto 750 is a powerful bike. I always recommend a 400 or a 650. Lots of people have started on 600s and 750’s with no issues but just be careful and respect the power.
L7 gsxr 750 with a quick shifter jeeeesh this bike is just the right mix.
Love this bike! No fancy electronics. Sounds great too
Picked up another bike not too long ago..bought a 2020 GSXR-750 & I absolutely love this bike....
I tell ppl to take the course and start on whatever you want. I started on a 1000cc and I’ve owned 5
idiot
@@zipper978 how tf is he an idiot? Do you even ride
Motorcycles only go as fast as you twist the throttle seems legit on paper
@@86250r Hes an idiot because starting on a powerful bike is just dumb. You havent developed the motor skills to safely operate a powerful machine like that. You can lie to yourself and say you are going to be safe blah blah blah but that is just bullshit. and yes I ride a gsxr 750
Informative and reassuring ..I’m thinking of getting gsxr 750 but it first bike…and most vids I’ve seen say start on small bike, but I figured to take the course and go from there..I used to ride em around the warehouse where I put together Polaris atvs on the smooth surface concrete while loading them on semi trailers.
I have a 2017 same color and year as that bike, love it and will never get rid of it. I’ve ridden the 600s and 1000s but in my opinion the 750 is the best
I have a yellow k7 1000cc. I love the power. It starts to pull hard at a much lower rpm than the smaller displacement bikes. And I’m a big guy and find it pretty comfortable for a sport bike. As far as starting out on a 750cc. No problem if you respect the machine. I took my driving test on a 750cc bike and had no issues.
I have 750 .. love that ♥️ ..
Easy to handle, comfortable and almost no negatives ..You can ride that all day long 🤟 ..
I've had an '07 750 for 2yrs now and it's by far the best bike I've been on. Not heavy, plenty of power, more comfortable than most...fun bike to ride!
Definitely just the right amount of power
Jus purchased a 2020 Gsxr-750 first street bike and i love it. Thee handling N power it has is perfect.
The 750 is alot of perfection in a great package. Considering the msrp of liter bikes to the 750 is a no brainer. Im 48 and and just bought a brand new 750 and couldn't be more happy
Just bought a 2017 Suzuki 750 on Saturday and I LOVE IT! Wasn’t my first choice, but it has grown on me for sure.
JMrshall24 Right on! The 750 is a good middle ground! There really isn’t any other 750 out there other than a Triumph Daytona 765 or Panigale V2.
Man, I appreciate how that 750 lofts the front wheel. I owned a couple of 1986 gixxer 750’s, between ‘86 and 1990, and a 2001 gixxer 1000, in 2002. The 1000 would, gently, loft the front wheel on mild takeoffs. Oh, what a feeling. Thanks for your video. Blessings 😊
That gsxr shifts smoothly.
I have a 2022 R1M and recently purchased a 2017 GSXR-750. I can honestly say the 750 is a great all around motorcycle 😎
Love my 750. Ah its so good. 2015 here!
I have a 2015 gsxr 750 and agree with what you're saying. Very light, handles like a 600 but with an extra kick resembling a litre bike. I love the bike, incredibly comfortable and all the power I'll ever need.
More than enough power indeed!
I own a K7 Sebum Fiddy I absolutely love it. It’s nimble, and quick and it’ll keep you satisfied for years.
I have one and love it it’s been one of the best bikes I’ve ever had and I’ve had the top 3 Honda CBR600rr and the Raven R6.... and by far this has been the most comfortable bike I’ve owned and my honest opinion the best looking one. You get a lot of options with the GsxR
GSXR Frank Yeah I don’t know why so many people hate on GSXRs?
It’s Me Eric B everyone is entitled to there opinions and honestly a lot of gixxer riders are duche bags.... but in the end I love my bike the power and the handling of it
GSXR Frank You are absolutely right on opinion and the fact that there are a lot of fools that just so happen the ride gixxers. To be honest that’s on any sport bike but the majority seems to be on Suzuki which gives it a bad name sometimes.
@moose head same here. I bought a gsxs 750 and while I do love it, I long for the look and feel of a faired bike >< but I like my abs lol. People constantly stop short
I started on a ‘96 750 back in 1997.
It was my first bike and luckily, I didn’t kill myself while learning to ride even though I had some close calls.
I now have an ‘08 750 I bought brand new and love it too.
I had a ‘05 CBR1000RR but it was stolen not long after I bought it. That’s when I went back to the 750.
Fjones1914 Nice! Yes this bike is a lot of fun!
I bet you still remember how amazing that feeling of buying one of these gsxr’s BRAND NEW (as i just did months ago) haha its just a feeling that is hard to describe knowing its only ridden by YOU.
Got the 2020 GSXR750 as my first bike
Big learning curve at first but get the hang of it real fast, really feels like an aggressive street bike honesty. So comfortable compared to the competition
They don’t come with abs right?
@@hantzu8287 they don’t
You still alive??
@@gtoramirez thankfully lol
@@nevercedes2070 praise God! I been thinking of upgrading from my Svartpillin to a street bike. The GSXR750 really has my attention. Between this and the ZX6R. They’re gorgeous bikes.
People complain the 600/750 are out of date but at the same time complain newer bikes have too many ride aids. We are lucky Suzuki still makes these, especially the 750. Yamaha just killed the R6 as a road bike and it had the electronic updates that Suzuki needs to do. I really like the GSX-S1000F as a road bike that engine is amazing but I think I need to try the 750 which is about the same performance. I miss my 2007 GSX-R600.
I hear ya man! Too bad the other brands don’t have a 750cc bike class. Only other ones close would be the Triumph 765 and maybe the Panigale V2, which is an updated 959 if I’m not mistaken.
@@itsmeericb Some of them did in the mid 90’s. Suzuki kept theirs as the last holdout to be the only ones, but they were also the first 750 in 1985 and really the first modern supersport. The Triumph I do like but it’s a Street Triple unless you want a $17,000 limited edition Daytona and it makes less than 130hp. Still very good though. The Ducati V2 would be a great bike but totally different experience and also expensive. The ZX-6R 636 is the closest but still doesn’t have that 750 power and nowhere near the top speed.
I have had nothing but 1000cc and now have my 750 and I have to say I love it and im faster on it on the track than my 1000cc and the 750 feels like its just perfect power everything handling it just does everything right I dont think any bike can compare to the 750
Used to own the 750, great alll around sport bike! 👍🏻
I had a k6 GSXR 1000 and now have a K7 750...love the 1000 but 750 feels better overall for normal use on the streets, way more flickable
I got my 750 new in 2018 with the black/red but man am I in love with the yellow ❤️
I still own a 1998 w gsxr 750 , the dealerships are gone , a few girlfriends are gone but the thrill is still there.
Ive done 15k on mine and no street bike comes close in my opinion. It is the perfect mix of everything. The style grows on you. Mine is all black with no badges and its the subject of a lot of staring contests lol.
They will chew up a lazy 1000 rider once they get de-restricted and you hit the twisties. My friend places 1st regularly racing his old 2001. The GSXR chassis is world renouned for its stability and friendliness. Obvious that reliability is no question either. In first gear full throttle it is right at the limit of what the street tire can handle. Its lighter than all other 600 chassis and weighs only a few lbs more than the GSXR600.
I had planned on getting the 750 but the one I wanted sold 3 days before I could make it to the dealer. Ended up saving a bit and went with the 600. Not disappointed. It's a lot of fun...then again it's my first season with it lol.
Nothing wrong with a 600 and I hate it when people talk crap about them. They are still fast AF for the street, you just have to rev them higher.i never though my 600 wasn’t enough before I got my 1000. Have fun with it and get comfortable for when you do upgrade. Ride safe!
I have a k5 750 and hands down I love it put some work into it and she gives a 1000 and run for there money but I still don't regret start on smaller bike it made me better and more comfortable so I was able to smoothly and safely switch to my 750
chucky 7923 Awesome! Yes with the right rider it can give a 1000 a good run. I am glad I started on something smaller too in order to learn and improve before stepping up.
I think at this point, a lot of people opt to get 1000's not for that extra bit of power, but for all the extra's. Most have a better display compared to their 600 counterparts. Traction control, wheelie control, tunable throttle response, engine breaking, ABS, auto blipper, quickshifter etc etc. As it's always said, on the street you aren't using the power of the 1000.
I think if all of the electronics and 'luxuries' of the new 1000 cc bikes appeared on a new 600, it would be incredibly popular. The gap between 600cc and 1000cc continues to grow larger though, and not because of the power I don't think.
You are right. The extra power is nice but they put all of the looks and fancy features in the 1000s. The 600s get no luxuries or design changes over the years.
I’m from the uk so our bike laws are different, we have to do a basic training first which only allows you to ride a 125cc. Depending on your age that’s all you can ride for a few years. I’ve just sold my 125 and bought a gsxr 750 and the weight difference is incredible. So for Americans who (I believe) can jump on any cc’d bike from the get go, not only think about the power, consider the weight.
Glories Sometimes I wish we had the same process. I think it makes you a better rider starting out small and working your way up.
Love how u where honest n said u kould start off on it because I was going too anyway 😅
😂🤷♂️
I ride a 2004 and I love it the extra weight and higher tires make stock 1thousand get gapped the strongest 750 motor stock 2now is 04 05 mines stretch n everything is aem plus flash the frame is actually exactly identical to the 600 as well just bored stroked and diff ecu
I miss my 2012 750 black and yellow 😢 really comfortable bike doesn’t have a drinking problem like my s1000rr
First bike i ever rode was a hayabusa but i own a 750 for a reason 750 is a beautiful work of art..light nimble handling and insane power and acceleration and pretty good top speed topping out at about 189mph 2014 gxsr 750
189 hu 😂😂😂😂😂
@@deangruwell6555 yep port and polished heads and changed my gearing 189mph on the gps
I started on a 125 cc bobber then bought an 1995 750 gsxr, love te power
I Ryde a K7 750..520 kit..velocity stacks..k&n air filter..Z bomb..M4 full exhaust and stage 2 ECU flash..my 3rd 750...."No need to buy a liter bike"...FACTS!
750’s is where it’s at!!!! You should try to stay out of the middle of the lane especially in the city or intersections due to possible oil drippings from other vehicles.
I know about the middle of the road. Wasn’t thinking about it then. 😄 Yup! 750 is a good mix of 600/1000!
Oh man your edits are insane!
Thanks!
One thing to remember, the 1000s will do 100 mph in first gear, which means you ever take it to redline on the street and your looking at loss of licence and big fine.
You can just never ride them hard on the road.
Get a 600, install a three tooth bigger rear sprocket to shorten the gearing, and you have a road and track rocket that you can really have some fun on.
Yeah I used to have a 600 and it was perfect for the street. Only problem is there aren't very many good looking 600's out there except for the R6. All of the new designs go towards the 1000's. Now we can also say the same thing for sports cars. People own 500+ hp cars and you can't use all of that on the street either. Americans love to have power on tap no matter if we use it all or not. Hahaha!
K8 750 has the best Front End Hands down
Picking my 2017 up friday, so excited
Congrats!
Really liked this one Eric. Your point about the A B modes really makes sense. When I was a teenager many moons ago I rode a Harley Sportster a couple of times and had a Lambretta scooter one summer. I would really like to get your advice about what helmet to get if I go for a 750.
Thanks! If you go with the 750 or any sport bike, I recommend something that fits your head correctly. Brand is on you but make sure it’s comfortable but fits right.
Suzuki GSX-R 750 Gang - Where you at!
I have a CTX 700. Next summer I’ll be upgrading to a gsxr 750 100%
I just got a 750 for my first bike and I am using the "B" mode (FOR NOW). Thanks for the video
Awesome! Yeah you’ll get used to it quick!
@@itsmeericb Still kind of nervous, but I'm taking my time and all my boyz and videos like yours are helping a ton. Thanks again
I’ve been looking at the 2020 Gxsr 750. how you like it man?
@@TnJLifestyle I like the 750s. I don't think they changed much in the last couple of years. Definitely go for it if you want one!
@@TnJLifestyle Loving my 750. Not to much power but doesn't get as old as fast as the 600. Was on "B" mode for about a month then that shit had to go.
That combination of color is beautiful. I have the 2020 model. What exhaust it is?
Jansel Ríos Awesome! This one has a Yoshimura but I don’t know which model.
I pick up this same bike tomorrow. Still cold in NY tho i cant wait till summer.
Nice! You’ll love it. Perfect balance.
Hot a k5 750, best all round bike...closer to a 600 than the 1000 but still ooodles of fun...👍😁
Noo in all seriousness ASK ANYONE..theres multiple vids from a guy who OWNS a gsxr1000, and said he even enjoys riding the 750 a little bit more than his 1000..which he couldnt believe he was saying. Ride both (600 then 750) and youll change your mind real quick the feel of the torque alone will have you addicted to the 750. Im not trying to “correct” you bro i was just saying if you rode both like i have (now own a new 750) i was suprised you thought its closer to 600 than the 1000.
I miss riding those Fayetteville streets. I lived right across the street from your dealership.
Oh for real? Nice!
I’ve got a k3 750 it was my first bike this seasons my second season on it mad fun bike 🤟
Love my k7 pulls hard and handles great and it is a 750 has a power tuner so that helps that much more
Thanks for the vid, I think the 06 Gsxr class was so great, that was my first bike... I think it had a better “gripping the ground feel” than even my Panigale
Hey Dario Really? I wouldn’t think a GSXR handles better than a Panigale. 😄 My favorite years are the 04-05 600-750 and 17-present 1000.
It’s Me Eric B yea I would say handles better, but I remember feeling more grounded.... I have the V2 and it just feel light at times
Hey Dario Ah gotcha
Got a k6 750 as starter bike abt a year & half ago. Very strong bikes. I'm not upgrading in a long time. #ridehardprayharder
Just upgraded to a 750 and I love it. Still don't think I'd recommend it to a beginner, even in B mode
Joseph Rosen B mode is literally snail mode. 🐌
@@itsmeericb lol, we say this bc we know how to ride..that first timer will think its SCARY..I do like it when it rains..the only time I use B mode..otherwise A MODE all day🙏🙏
I have a yellow 2012 GSXR 750, I started out on a SV650.
You did it right. Start out on on the SV then step it up. 😎
Had 2 an 06 and 08 750s. Really enjoyed the 08. Headlight much better on 08 and it seemed more powerful in mid to top end. Im looking at bikes again. I rode my cousins 05 gsxr 1k. Those bikes are notoriously strong especially midrange. Definitely a huge jump in power but unless you just roll race it doesnt help much in street settings. A 750 will still do 3rd gear standups at 80 what more would you want? Lol
Yeah definitely a good middle ground between a 1000 and 600
I have the same bike in a 600. Love it, but also jealous of the 750 lol.
I have an 04 gsxr 750 I love it so much
I got my cbr500 in January and now I’m considering either an R1 or this 750. I’m turned off by all the 600s, Aprilia isn’t the soundest option for me, and the Duke just isn’t my taste anymore(cause I street fighter’d my cbr after so many crashes. don’t quite trust myself on a R1 yet and was suggested this instead. Still on the fence but I’m liking what I’m hearing from gxr750 owners.
Wish the highways in Long Island look that clean. To many potholes and bumps.
GREAT review!!! 👍🏾 Been looking for one for a bit now. It’s definitely the best of both worlds! I may or may not be joining team gixxer!
Randy’s Reality Thanks man! You know you want one! #gixxergang
It’s Me Eric B I DO!!! I wouldn’t mind having yours or the GSXR 1000R I did a review on! Top 5 smoothest bikes I’ve ridden
Randy’s Reality what about an R1?
It’s Me Eric B I love the cross plane 😍 just not to sure about that aggressive riding position for it to be my only bike. 2nd bike, YES ALL DAY I WOULD!!! Something new is coming though.. but as far as what kinda is still up in the air!
Randy’s Reality My GSXR does not feel like the others. The 1000s now have a more aggressive position. I’m filming a first ride video for it now.
Definitely gonna get a 750. Currently ride a boulevard 800 but wanna get into sport bikes
Chris Walker Do it!
what a great video im just getting my gsxr 750 thursday!
Salcedos Vlog Thanks! That’s great to hear! You’ll love it!
I’m actually gonna get a 750 for my starter bike and see the b mode yea make it even better to start on cuz I’ve never wanted to move bike to bike
Not a bad option but just respect the power and you’ll be fine. I always recommend starting on something smaller but using the power modes should help out.
I got a 2015 the handling is amazing love it
I took the course..in April just got a 04 750 like 3 weeks ago my 1st bike
Nice video,I’m now going for my bike license and going to get a GSXR 750 “was looking at the R6 R1 & CBR 600 “like the CBR with how the exhaust is under the rear tail
Nice review! I just bought my first bike about a month ago and it’s the 2011 750 and as you mentioned that B mode was what gave me the confidence to start on a 750 and it was great but now after a month I’m running in A mode now
Bobby Barnes Nice! See the rider modes come in handy! Thanks for watching! 😁
SMART...as i did the exact same with my 2020 750 😉
So B mode for 6 months to a year is what I'd do because I don't think it's necessary to gun it all the time
Just picked up a 2022 GSXR750!!!
Nice! How do you like it?
@@itsmeericb love it!!! Having fun practicing on backroads. An hour on the bike goes by fast.
@6:50
What speed would that be at and what did it allegedly reach? Thanks
i didnt switch modes i stayed on a mode but it still felt like ive never ridding before because its been so long and they werent leaderbikes
I have a 450 dirt bike. Woukd this be a good first bike for street
This could be as it does have power modes and you won’t have to really “upgrade” as this is a good balance between a 600 and a 1000. I still recommend a smaller bike if you’ve never been on the road before. Really depends on your maturity and your size as well. Everyone is going to be different when it comes to what type of bike they can start out on.
Have this exact bike, but with voodoo shorty slip on. Nice vid man!
Fayettnam North Cackalacky... My home town. Much love from NYC broski. be safe
In CA. The 750 dominates. We just don't have all the straight aways like the midwest. A litre bike on a curvy road ???? What litre bike?
Haha! That is true with liter bikes and curves unless you are a really good rider.
started on duke 890 r (i wanted a torq over revs)......rode dirt bikes never street, the issue i see or experienced isnt so much riding the bike its people, traffic, emergency situations are constantly going on around....( at least in metro LA they do)......this is by far the bigger concern i have.....the bike is the easy part
fact that these bikes handle so well at faster speeds, accelerate insanely quick and stop on a dime helps the rider out alot, but other drivers in cars cant comprehend or react very well to this reality.....
learn how to function properly in emergencies, how to navigate and stop the bike and make good decisions in bad situations....the bikes are really incredible pieces of engineering.....faster they go better they handle and that confuses others in cars and trucks......more rural areas lot less of a concern, i just bought a set of leather pants.....F%^& road rash with capital F, lol
would love to get 750 gsxr though.....such a great bike
Awsome video man! im about to take my licence for bike and im gonna buy myself a gixxer 600 :))
I LOVE MY 750! I Have An 09. It’s The Only Headlight Style I Like lol
IxAM HUNTER Yeah yours is the bird looking one right? I like that one too.
It’s Me Eric B Yea Yup . That Eagle Beak *
Get a dark cover for the headlight
Upgrading from my 300 I think I’m going w the 636🥷 750 sounds good but that headlight🤦🏻💀
badass bike Eric do you still have your yellow gsxr
No I got rid of it a long time ago
Yea my first bike was a 02 gsxr 750 and i loved it now I have a 07 gsxr 1000 and I love it but I still do miss my 750 because it really is the best of both worlds
terrell love Yeah now that I have my 1000 I miss my 600 from time to time. The 750 is a good balance I just wish more manufacturers made them like Yamaha or Honda.
@@itsmeericb exactly the 750 is such a good bike I have no idea why more manufacturers don't make them it blows my mind
Does it come stock with a quick shifter I saw u didn’t use it if it does but Ik some bikes around that year come with it some I’m just wondering if this one does
I doubt it.
I’ve been to flip my cycle lol. Almost bought my gsxr 750 from there
As much as I try, I just can't fall in love with GSXRs but still would love to ride one. I am liking the black/yellow colorway!
ridinginsaiyan Yeah way before I ever started riding I’ve always liked the look of the GSXRs. Really just the 2004-2005 and current 1000s. I love Yamaha and the Europe’s bikes too!
Have you ridden a GSXR? Bully
@@itsmeericb I love motorcycles
Never really liked GSXR’s till I sat on one and it fit me like a glove, bought me the next day
I had one I want another I loved it
I own the 2018 750.
Really diggin your channel man 🙌 where do you Kip finding these bikes to test out?
DJ X:ponent Thanks! Used bike dealer called Flip My Cycle.
It’s Me Eric B Keep it up man! Great content!
ItsMeEricB Damn, I wish they were near me. None of the dealerships will let me ride one.....smh.
@ 1 time or another I’ve owned all 3 .. currently on liter bike .. and of the 3 the liter bike is my fav .. only because the power & torque is right there when I want it .. the most fun of the 3 bikes .. definitely the 600 ( canyon carving )
750 ?? … yes a perfect happy medium in power - canyon carving though the less then power in a 600 made it more fun then a 750 ( go figure ) prolly the popping in and out of the 600 gearing and being able to throw around 410 pounds made the 600 an ABSOLUTE blast
I have a 01 750 and was thinking about upgrading to a newer bike. I was thinking about a liter bike but after watching this with a couple other videos and yeah a 750 will be where it’s at
Perfect sport bike for every day !!
What is the slight ticking noise?
People don't realize, but Suzuki was one of the very first manufacturers to implement power delivery modes.
Lifted_Above And everyone always hates on them. 😄
@@itsmeericb I don't. They are superb bikes. Found a video of a guy who turbocharged his 750 for dragstrip use and was rolling away from an H2 quite handily.
I’m a bigger guy 6 foot 1 200 pls lbs. I’m trying to figure out if I should get a 750 600 800 as my starter bike. Can you suggest
I would go with a 750, just put in B mode. I would go with a 600 as a first bike but I think you’ll be fine with a 750.
It’s Me Eric B thanks that’s what I was thinking
Can anyone tell me if its would be okay for a taller guy like 6’4?
Ive had 600's 750's and 1000's. I like the 750s the best for the street.
